Great watch to keep track of your steps and exercise regime. Comfortable to wear, and keeps great time.
Rated: 5 / 5 Stars
I actually quit wearing this… It turns out that every little jiggle makes this move. Within an hr. of wearing it I had walked 5,000 steps and hadn’t done more than drive to the store and drive home. I am disappointed. I suppose if you only wear it when you walk/jog/run then it would be fine, I was more hoping to see how many steps I walked in an ordinary day. The judgment will have to be yours – but if you are looking for the same thing I was, I think the $10 clip on from any store would be more beneficial.

I bought this pedometer watch since it was difficult to always wear my waist-clip pedometer with certain clothing. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money, I just wanted something reasonably-priced that worked “reasonably” well. The pedometer watch meets both of these criteria.
The watch keeps excellent time, but the pedometer isn’t quite accurate as it frequently adds steps just when putting it on. The booklet says it doesn’t start counting until after 16 steps, but that isn’t true at all. Compared to my waist pedometer, it adds more than half again as many steps. For a 10,000 step day (per my waist pedometer) the pedometer watch will register around 17,000 steps.
Although my waist pedometer wasn’t expensive, it did make me calibrate the length of my stride, weight, etc., in order to calculate mileage, calories burned, etc. (I didn’t know from the description of the pedometer watch that you wouldn’t be required to do this.)
For my purposes, since I still wear my waist pedometer when possible, the pedometer watch is sufficient. It keeps good time and the background light is great for checking the time in dark places (i.e., theatres, etc.) It’s not the most attractive thing, but its water resistance and durability are nice added features.
For someone who wants an easy way of tracking their activity level from day to day, and/or is willing to determine the accuracy of the pedometer watch before relying on it soley, this isn’t a bad purchase. For someone who wants solid accuracy, you may want to look elsewhere.
